Which term means to motivate others to accomplish more than they believe possible?

• A. Expect
• B. Cultivate
• C. Inspire
• D. Act

Answer: (C)

The main idea is motivating others to accomplish more than they believe possible. This is what inspire captures: to fill someone with the urge and belief that they can reach higher goals, often by sharing a compelling vision, showing confidence in them, and helping them see what could be achieved. When you inspire someone, you spark a personal motivation that drives them to push beyond self-imposed limits rather than simply telling them to act or expecting a result. The other options don’t convey that inner motivation to exceed limits—expect is about anticipating outcomes, cultivate is about developing something over time, and act is about performing an action. So, the term that best fits is inspire.
